Science Tutoring By Kacie
About
I am a very patient and diligent teacher, I enjoy seeing the look of accomplishment on a students face when they have that 'Aha! I get it!' moment. I will work hard to ensure that students succeed in whatever they are working towards, and try to make it as fun as possible along the way. I obtained my bachelors in environmnetal science then went on to obtain my teaching degree. I have spent 4 years teaching at the high school level but am comfortable teaching k-12 sciences, as well as chemistry at the college level.

After being intoroduced I will aks what the students strengths are and then what they struggle with. I will then ask what they are currently working on. I will learn what stuyle of learning best suits the student and then we will go from there.

What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with gifted students, special educatoppn students and everything inbetween.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently had a student understand a difficult chemistry concept, one of the best parts of teaching is that 'Aha!' moment students have where they realise they can and do understand a concept that they were struggiling with.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would pick a tecaher that you feel comfotable asking questions with. It can be scary to ask for help with a difficult concept so having a teacher who you fell comfotable asking questions to is key to learning.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What are my strengths? What do I struggle with? Which is my prefered learning style?
